Yun Ji met the person hired by the branch. Shopkeeper Liu, who was responsible for taking care of the accounts, was a man in his thirties. He was not tall, but quite thin. His face was naturally smiling, a bit like Shopkeeper Zhu whom he had met before.
, but he is more bookish than Shopkeeper Zhu.
When Yun Bi asked, she found out that shopkeeper Liu was indeed a scholar. However, he failed to pass the examination three times. Later, when he saw that his parents were old and he still had a wife and children to take care of, he simply gave up his plan to continue taking the official career examination.
Come out and work.
He originally wanted to be a teacher, but because he offended a very powerful person in the academy, he ended up working as a bookkeeper. He had many years of bookkeeping experience, so he was recommended by Azhou's friend this time.
Yun Ji asked him about his expected salary and thought it was worth it.
Chef Zhou, who is in charge of the back kitchen, is a fair and fat man, about thirty years old. He also has a natural smile, but unlike Shopkeeper Liu’s bookishness, he is more like a miraculous man who doesn’t have to worry about anything. His
My cooking skills are good, and I can cook ordinary home-cooked meals.
"Uncle Zhou, don't you feel aggrieved to be a cook who only cooks noodles?" Yun Ji asked him.
What she said about cooking noodles was really just cooking noodles, because she made all the seasonings herself. She couldn't imagine that Chef Zhou could find a good job in any restaurant with his cooking skills.
Why are you willing to come to their small noodle shop?
"Hey, actually I'm just tired of cooking. I happened to hear that the noodle shop was looking for a chef, so I came here." Chef Zhou said with a naive smile.
Yun Ji: "...".
"Actually, cooking noodles is also very tiring." After a while, Yun Ji couldn't help but say. Her noodle shop's business will definitely not be bad by then. If Chef Zhou really thinks that cooking noodles is easy, then he has made a wrong calculation.
But since he is willing now, let's do it for a while first and see.
Chef Zhou didn't seem to care about Yun Xi's words.
Yun Shu shook her head, she was waiting for Chef Zhou to be slapped in the face.
The waiter's pillar, like Ding Lu, was a boy of only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was tall and thin, with a delicate face and a smart look. Before Yun Jie could ask, he spoke loudly.
In short, the general idea is that his parents passed away and he lived with his eldest brother and sister-in-law. In order not to let his eldest sister-in-law think that he was just a freeloader, he went to work. He promised that he would work hard and not let Yun Shu, his employer, waste money in vain.
Sister-in-law Wang, who is responsible for washing vegetables and washing dishes, is a widow. She has two sons and a daughter at home. The sons are married, but the daughter is still young. She is also afraid that her daughter-in-law will gossip, so she comes to help subsidize the family.
After meeting the four people, Yun Ji had a good initial impression of them. She decided to let them work for a while and then see if they were good. If they were good, she would continue to stay in the noodle shop; if she found that they were not suitable, she would hire another person.
The opening time of the noodle shop is set for five days, which is an auspicious day for opening.
Before the official opening, Yun Ji and the others still have some preparation work to do. For example, pre-opening publicity is different from the opening of noodle restaurants in the town. After all, Qi'an County is a lively and prosperous county with a large population and many shops. According to Yun Ji
As you know, there are over a dozen or twenty noodle restaurants, large and small. If you want to stand out among so many noodle restaurants, although the taste of noodles is the first priority, other promotions must also be in place.
It just so happened that their yard was settled, so Yun Ji could move all the things he needed to the yard, and it was also convenient to make things in the yard.
"A leaflet?" Nie Zhou took the leaflet handed over by Yun Xi and read it again and again, "How is it different from last time?"
There were also leaflets when the restaurants in town opened, but this time the leaflets were obviously richer. And are there any activities to try food and win prizes?
He was a little confused, how did Yun Jie come up with so many ideas?
Yun Ji nodded and said: "There are many more people in the county than in the town, and many businessmen from other places come and go here, and they know more. If we don't do something new, it won't be so easy to become famous. Just
However, this leaflet requires more, but we have the manpower..."
If she wasn't afraid of being exposed, Yun Ji would have wanted to use a computer to make a promotional page, print it out directly, and make hundreds or thousands of color copies. But now she can only draw it by hand, a few or a dozen copies.
If you really want to make hundreds of copies, your hands will be sore.
"Leave it to me!" Nie Zhou said directly. After listening to Yun Shu's words, he thought her idea was very good. The activity of tasting and winning prizes is very novel, and I think many people will be attracted to it.
"Okay, let's decide on the leaflets like this first. When they are ready, we can give them to some wandering beggars to help distribute them, and we will pay them." The beggars in Qi'an County are familiar with every corner of the city, and they are very good at handing out leaflets.
convenient.
"In addition, I want to have a lion and dragon dance team on the opening day, and set off two firecrackers to liven up the atmosphere." There are no dragon and lion dances in the noodle restaurants in the town, but she has inquired about the county.
There is a team here. It is said that the owner of this team also saw dragon and lion dances in other places, and he came up with the idea of starting a dragon and lion dance team like this in his hometown. Not to mention, he was really impressed
Got it out.
This dragon and lion dance team has only been established for more than a year, but it is said that the business is good. If you need it, you have to make a reservation in advance. They will open in four or five days, and I don't know if they can get a reservation.
"Okay." Nie Zhou agreed with Yun Xi's idea.
Yun Ji saw that he didn't have any objections to her words, and she felt very happy. It felt great to have a husband who supported her unconditionally.
The couple discussed some more details and then went their separate ways.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and the day of the noodle shop’s opening has arrived.
Perhaps because Yun Ji and the others had done enough publicity in the past few days, there were many people in front of the noodle shop today. Coupled with the dragon and lion dance teams, it was very lively.
Yun Ji saw that the time was almost up, so she asked Zhu Zhu to light firecrackers and announce the opening.
After the crackling firecrackers stopped going off, thirty customers who had received the specially marked leaflets poured into the noodle shop.
The shop is elegantly decorated, and there is a noodle order list on each table. Not only does the list have the table number, but there is also an illustration of the noodles. The price is marked under the illustration, as well as the price of adding side dishes, etc., which is very attractive.
.Then on the cashier counter, there are large lottery boxes.
Shopkeeper Liu stood there with a smile and announced the rules for tasting and winning prizes. What are the prizes?
As soon as shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, bowls of cooked noodles were served. The aroma was so fragrant that the customers couldn't help but swallow their saliva before they even started to taste it.
